any difference between startup and running?

["王罕" <y030737@njupt.edu.cn>]

dear all:

  I just read the draft-03, and I am confused by some description.

the draft said the running configure is the default target of many operation,

but later it mentioned the "startup" configure.

  I want to ask what is the difference between startup and running?

does the startup meaning the confuguration of a device when it is just begin to

running , in another word , the configuration before it send <hello>

element to others. 

  if it is , why we need a startup configuration? we can get the same information

through <get-config> , if we want to save the configuration when the device work

normally, we can save the configuration to candidate.
